Re: Pixel-RF-PRO-1B receive magnetic Loop
Hi John,
Interesting thread indeed !
Yes, I tried them both and then I read Guy's review. My conclusions fully match with his.
My QTH is 12km / 7miles from a LORAN-C transmitter

Re: Pixel-RF-PRO-1B receive magnetic Loop
So, Dominique, you've tried them both and prefer the Wellbrook - or you interpret Guy's data and agree with his conclusion? Go to Pixel's site and you'll find the Pro-1 beats the Wellbrook. I wouldn't

Hi folks,
Just have a look at this review from Guy Atkins:

Re: Pixel-RF-PRO-1B receive magnetic Loop
It comes with a "brick" style amplifier made by Clifton labs.
This is a high quality design with good large signal handling
and a 3 dB NF. Being connectorized, I can use it for other
antennas. I

Re: Pixel-RF-PRO-1B receive magnetic Loop
Pretty pricey, but if I didn't have DIY skills, I'd certainly be looking at one.
What the use of spending $800 odd dollars on a comms receiver, and feeding a noisy signal into it? You'd be far

Hi VA6POP,
Do you have a website where we can order? (I have some questions, if you can send me an email, that will be great.)
Thanks!

Re: Pixel-RF-PRO-1B receive magnetic Loop
I came face to face with one of these last week at the local candy store
(HRO). Nice looking. Impressive up close.
I should have asked them if they have it hooked up to one of the demo rigs.

Re: Pixel-RF-PRO-1B receive magnetic Loop
For one thing the Pixel Pro-1B is too expensive. Not a whole lot of hobbyists
want to spend $500 for a receiving loop antenna, myself included. Why does
it have to be so expensive?

Re: Question About Tuning Diodes
I would not use LEDs as varactors. The LEDs act as photodiodes to some
extent, generating noise.
It's better to use a zener diode, if you have to.
